Hi, i have been playing with the new solvers of pyro, but i was looking for more info on how to delete particles over the time, i dont want them to get over the top of the container and see how they stuck togheter,

i am looking for something that disipate in the air, just like real smoke that the wind take it away and slowly start fading.

is something posible? or i am missing something on the docs?

How about create a group and add particles based on their $ID over $LIFE or $T , and then just delete that group

i was looking in the old tutorials of
http://odforce.net/downloads/videos/v6/ [odforce.net] about working with particles and been able to do a group, when particles get inside a space, like a metaball or a cube,

but i am not sure how or where do i create that group, i do undertand $LIFE means, been a global variable stands in capital letters, but how i can crete that group, (i am assuming that in the option will be one to delete and that where i can set the variable to be %LIFE and some how been able to set a variance over that)

thanks circus
